Our Staff

Allison O'Reilly (she/her)
Station Manager
Desperate for a change from small town life in the Maritimes, Allison took the train to Montreal and never looked back (eventually stumbling upon CJLO along the way). A lover of all things radio, she was involved with CHMA 106.9 in Sackville, New Brunswick for the duration of her time at Mount Allison University. After studying Broadcast Journalism in Halifax, she jumped from station to station along Nova Scotia’s South Shore, reporting local news. She has been with CJLO since 2017 as Program Director before taking the leap to manager. In her spare time, you can find her watching bad television or listening to shoegaze. She plays bass in a few local bands and is also two-thirds through a Nursing degree (which she will finish someday, she promises).
Cameron McIntyre (he/him)
Program Director
Cam's history in radio started at CHMA 106.9FM, a community campus radio station in Sackville, New Brunswick. Funny story: he actually met our Station Manager Allison for the first time at a CHMA party. While there, Cam had a couple of music shows focusing mostly on experimental and punk music. He started doing talk radio when he moved to Montreal to get a Master's degree in philosophy and met the Audio Penpals. Their show focused on topics related to Montreal's disability community. He can also talk about painting and cooking all day, and he loves a good non-fiction book. 
 
Lisa Rupnik (she/her)
Head Music Director
 
Since 2018, Lisa has worn many hats at CJLO (both figuratively and literally). Besides hosting her show The Last Stop, she has worked as the station’s Music Librarian, wrote for the online magazine and DJ’d at special events. She is also an avid record collector, a “no nonsense” film lover and feels that her personality can be best defined by her two favourite bands: YMO and Sparks.
Kelly, World Music Director
Kelly Belfo
World Music Director
World Music Director since 2003, Kelly Belfo helped build the world music department from the ground up. From CJLO's world music library now overflowing with great music from Montreal and abroad to a stellar Saturday line-up of music from the Caribbean and around the world, it is no wonder that CJLO is highly recognized in the world music scene. CJLO world music department also work closely with Festival International Nuits D'Afrique, Mundial Montreal, and Montreal International Reggae Festival.
Andrew, Metal Music Director
Andrew Wieler
Metal Music Director
Andrew, host of Grade A Explosives, oversees the metal section of the station. He enjoys sleeping and usually doesn't want to talk to anyone. Don't be fooled though, he can also chat your ear off about metal, indie rock, robot uprisings, or industrial music.
Aviva, Magazine Editor
 
Aviva Majerczyk (she/her)

She worked as the Funding Drive Coordinator in 2021 and now as the Magazine Editor. Growing up around radio stations, Aviva has always had a passion for music and broadcasting and has loved being able to explore that at the CJLO over the years. When not in the booth, you can find her writing, going to shows around Montreal, or rewatching Twin Peaks. 
 
Jennifer, Associate Content Editor
Jennifer Zipper (they/them)
Associate Content Editor
A recent graduate of Concordia University’s Communication Studies program, Jen was first drawn to CJLO as a volunteer due to the closeness of the community and the chance to discover local artists. Outside of campus radio work, you can find them binge-watching full seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, watching musical theatre productions, cooking, and buying way too many scented candles.
Zack, Production Director
Zack Bruce (he/him)

Remi, Equipment Manager
Remi Caron (he/him)
Equipment Manager
Remi Caron has been with CJLO for close to three years hosting At The Movies (With Iconic Sounds), a show that is part movie talk and part playing some of the iconic soundtracks or scores to cinema. In addition he has been CJLO's Equipment Manager for two years. His two favourite directors of all time would be Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick. You can also find Remi in the CJLO vault organizing the various genre sections, which he claims is a Zen experience. His philosophy on life is that you never start off the morning without a good coffee. Also he is open to having discussions about the latest releases in theatres.
Angelica, Art Director
Angelica Calcagnile
Art Director
Whether a cheaply photocopied black & white flyer, or a large fancy poster printed with the finest metallic inks, Angelica believes everything deserves to to be beautiful, and she's been using her professional experience in graphic design, marketing and production to provide the bulk of CJLO's branding and design work since 2001. She also hosts BVST, billed the best (and worst) of rock'n'roll, country, punk and metal, which is the longest continually running show on CJLO.
Jason, RPM Music Director
Jason Regy
RPM Music Director
After volunteering at CSKY - John Abbott College's student radio station, he decided to try his hand at being a radio host at CJLO. Since starting Rigged Sessions, he has garnered the attention of many producers and DJs - some of who have played at major festivals and signed their tracks to major labels, or even own their own labels - as well as record labels of many electronic genres! As he developed a friendship with them, some of them decided to create guest mixes on his show! Rigged Jasn combines his DJing skills with his (supposedly really attractive) radio voice, his connections to the industry as well as his motto - there's something for everyone when it comes to electronic music - to provide a unique radio experience which no one else has been able to provide through Rigged Sessions.
Sam Roberts (he/him)
Hip Hop Music Director
Originally from Calgary, AB, Sam moved to Montreal at the start of 2023 to expand his career in audio post-production and filmmaking. He quickly became an avid listener of CJLO as a lifelong music buff, and joined the team the summer of that year. Sam utilizes his background in cinema to produce programming, ads and announcements for CJLO and assists with recording Live Sessions. He will be attending Concordia as a student in Fall 2023 in the Film Studies program. Outside the studio, you can find Sam making music, exploring his new home of Montreal, watching pro wrestling, or searching for the perfect '80s B-movie.
